Veolia Water Technologies said on Monday, November 2, 2026, that Arauco had selected it to develop the water-treatment line for the Sucuríú pulp mill in Inocência, Brazil. The announcement adds a new industrial project to Veolia's water-technology business as the group expands environmental services for large industrial customers.

According to Veolia Water Technologies, the contract covers the design and implementation of an industrial effluent-treatment plant. The project is part of Arauco's 4.6 billion dollar pulp mill, which is planned to begin operations by late 2027 and produce 3.5 million tons of short-fiber pulp a year.

Large-scale treatment capacity

Veolia will deploy biological treatment and sludge-dewatering technologies designed for the mill. The planned system will process 10,600 cubic meters of wastewater per hour, a capacity Veolia equates with the organic load generated by 3 million inhabitants.

The announcement did not disclose the contract's financial value. For investors, the project therefore provides a concrete reference for Veolia's industrial water pipeline, while its direct contribution to group revenue and earnings remains unspecified.
